Report: Biden met with top Obama bundler

Vice President Biden, who is mulling a White House bid, met privately with a top bundler for Barack Obama’s two presidential campaigns during his swing through New York last week, Bloomberg reports.

{mosads}Biden reportedly took a meeting at his hotel in Midtown Manhattan with Robert Wolf, the former chairman and CEO of UBS Americas, that lasted more than 90 minutes.

Wolf told Bloomberg that the pair discussed issues including the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank and the nation’s infrastructure, saying Biden didn’t make a plea for his support.

“If he doesn’t know yet [about a 2016 run] how would I?” the former Wall Street executive told Bloomberg, noting he was supporting Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Wolf raised north of $500,000 for Obama’s White House campaigns in 2008 and 2012, according to media reports and figures from the Center for Responsive Politics.

A friend of the president’s, Wolf was appointed to several economic panels in the Obama administration, and his Wall Street ties could help a potential Biden bid, Bloomberg noted.

Biden last week went to New York, where he helped announce new federal money targeting a backlog in rape kits and pushed for a higher minimum wage alongside New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
